Convergence Culture by Henry Jenkins Vocabulary Definitions Collective Intelligence Definition: a. shared intelligence that develops from the knowledge of many individuals
b. collective meaning making Implications for Education: the teacher doesn't have all the knowledge, students pool their knowledge together to create meaning Example: Class Wiki
Black box fallacy - the notion that all access to media can be made through one device. This is fundamentally flawed because of the obsolescence inherent in emerging technologies. This implies that the black box is both the expectation and the fallacy. "This pull toward more specialized media appliances coexists with a push toward more generic devices."
Digital Divide Definition: The term digital divide refers to the gap between people with effective access to digital and information technology and those with very limited or no access at all. It includes the imbalances in physical access to technology as well as the imbalances in resources and skills needed to effectively participate as a digital citizen . In other words, it is the unequal access by some members of society to information and communication technology, and the unequal acquisition of related skills. The term is closely related to the knowledge divide as the lack of technology causes lack of useful information and knowledge. The digital divide may be classified based on gender , income , and race groups, and by locations. [1 ] The term global digital divide refers to differences in technology access between countries or the whole world. Implication for Education: There is a participation gap in the access of technology necessary to participate in conversations. Primarily in the area of fiscal capabilities. Example: Not all schools/families have computers,internet,money,etc.
Tele-cocooning: Definition: Describes the communication from one person to another, without having face-to-face physical interaction. Communication can be achieved in many ways: letters(snail mail), phone calls, text messages, e-mail, social networking sites on the Internet, live video feeds, etc. By communicating this way, many people can interact with each other from anywhere in world, without having to actually convene in the same physical location. Shared knowledge becomes quicker and easier. People who only ever communicate by tele-cocooning for long periods of time, without any physical contact with others, may forget how to act--loss of social behavior. Implications for education: Students would be able to communicate with other students anywhere around the world. Example: KeyPals(electronic version of PenPals)
Transmedia Storytelling Definition: a) art of world making b) hunting (searching) and gathering (collecting) bits of the story (person, idea) across media channels (internet, books, etc.) Implications for education:Teachers could use as a way of researching their students and teaching them in their preferred learning styles (auditory, visual, kinesetic...) Example: Teacher reads a story out loud to students and then gives the students clay so they can use it to mold any ideas or thoughts that comes to mind that connects the story to the student.
